The UEFA Europa League is UEFA's second tier European club competition and was previously known as the UEFA Cup. The competition changed its name in 2009/10 and involves qualifying and a play-off taking place before a group stage, which begins in September.

The group standings are determined first by total points, and then by goal difference. The group winners progress automatically to the knockout round, while those who finish second will enter a playoff round against eight teams dropping out of the Champions League after finishing third in their group.

TNT Sports will broadcast every UEFA Europa League match live, from the group stage to the final, over the course of the 2023/24 season.

All participants of the Europa League qualify either through their respective final standing in the domestic leagues or their performance in domestic cup competitions.

The 32 teams are drawn into eight groups of four teams and play each other in a double round-robin system. The eight group winners and eight runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match in late May or early June.

Premier League table. At the start of the season, the top four in the Premier League qualify for the Champions League, while fifth place and the FA Cup winners enter the Europa League. The winners of the Carabao Cup qualify for the Europa Conference League.

The UEFA Cup was rebranded as the Europa League for 2009-10 and now follows a relatively similar format to the Champions League, with qualification preceding a 32-team group stage, which is then followed by knockout rounds.
